This mosaic of 4 Panoramic frames from Sol442 show a strong increase in density of rocks, even big ones! Don't know if could be an issue for further movements toward the hill top?

To have humans _on_ Mars is more than a PR stunt (athough one might argue that the current US Administration's announcement of this goal is just that); in a larger sense, this is the human destiny.
But having a spacious and well-equipped manned orbiter _at_ Mars with multiple Rovers communicating with the orbiter in real-time via geocentric relay satellites is the reasonable path to travel. Samples could be delivered to the orbiting lab facility using return-to-orbit samplers. A living, breathing observer on Mars would be a wonderful event, but the environmental overhead of keeping the observer in that state would be tremendous at Mars' distance. --Bill -------------------- |
